MP3 file, for 7 days only

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dkvqw

Research from Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge, UK  and University of
Leeds, UK,   using SenseCam computer.

Researchers discover memory is recorded  in the brain with Alzheimer's
but is unable to be recalled. SenseCam can recall this memory in
certain cases.

Hmmmmmmmm

How do I _download_ the file to listen to it when I have the time?

dunno; I can't even listen to the thing online here (Firefox / Linux) - if
it really is an mp3 file then the BBC have gone to enormous lengths to
bastardise it into something that appears a lot more proprietary.

I used to be able to listen to radio content from the BBC, but I suppose
this is 'progress' for you...

It works fine here with Firefox3 but no way I can see to download it
although I can and do regularly download programmes from BBC as Podcasts.

Chris, :
A pile for everything, and everything in it.

Since they've changed all of the "Listen Again" programmes over to Flash
it's been a pain to download stuff (other than podcasts) and listen to it
when you're away from your computer.

Bang goes the idea of downloading and listening to it on the iPod then.

Hi,

www.girtonlabs.com is now updated so a 7Mbyte  MP3 audio file can be
downloaded and saved. You can then play it on Windows Media Player or
other player.

goto "The full documentary is here Sunday 21st Sept, BBC R4  for 7
days or here as MP3 file. right click on mouse to save and listen to"

10Mbyte file is maximum Google Page Creator will allow so compressed
to fit in this limit.

I (eventually!) gave up trying to d/l it and listened to it *live*...
I found it interesting, but it would have been, IMHO, _far_ better if it had
been televised.
Some thimgs are better on radio, but this wasn't one of them.
YMMV of course!

For me at least, _seeing_ thimgs aids memory far more than _hearing_ things.
Having both is even better, of course...

It seems to lead to something inciting me to install RealPlayer, which
is promising. The actual URL seems to be
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/aod/playlists/tp/vk/d0/0b/RadioBridge_2030_bbc_radi
o_three.ram


A long time ago, I wrote a 'file' audio output plugin for Xine,
specifically so that I could stream the BBC's RealAudio streams to a
wave file. I think it's shipped in the default Xine builds these days.

With xine configured to know where your RealPlayer codecs are, it's
something like:

XINE_WAVE_OUTPUT=foo.wav xine -A file \
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/aod/playlists/tp/vk/d0/0b/RadioBridge_2030_bbc_radi
o_three.ram


(and then convert to Ogg as you see fit; I couldn't be bothered to do
that as part of the output plugin; wave is trivial and I'm lazy.)

Unsurprising! Eccles and Popper were puzzled by the locus of memories,
intentions, etc. Of course, the notion of bodies as vehicles or media
is just a metaphor, but so is Cartesian 'dualism', an unfortunate
watershed for epistemology! We can speculate and experiment, but there
will always be one term missing! Name it 'conjecture'!
